Thankful Thursday

I'm linking up with my internet turned in real life back to internet life but still real friend Amy for



This week I'm going to start with some internet thankfulness.

One // Thrive Moms
As soon as this website went live I followed and subscribed. I had already been following both Nathalie and Kara Kae on twitter, instagram and their personal blogs. I loved their sweet hearts for encouraging mommas & that is what Thrive Moms is all about. 


Bonus I got to meet both of them at the Influence Conference this year. 


You can read her blog in that link. There are blogs that someone writes that just seems to get you. Jessi and I are have a few things in common, we so love Jesus, a house full of littles, body issues & a heart for encouraging women. When I first started following Jessi on twitter a few years ago I was blown away by her way to approach the throne. She was gentle & graceful & full of truth. It was so different, a breath of fresh of air. 


Yep, I got to meet her too. Honestly at first I was starstruck, but guess what? Jessi is just like you & I and she doesn't want you to be starstruck with her. 


When I first heard all about the conference I thought wow, that would be nice to go, for rich cool bloggers. I sat by wishing I was there stalking the twitter feed the whole weekend. And then came the network site. I was very hesitant at first about the whole paying $10/month. I kept thinking to myself why would I pay for community when I get it for free via twitter & instagram. But it is so much more. If you are still on the fence about it, jump in! The classes themselves are so worth it, but there's more. Free downloads, podcasts, and the forums. The forums are great, I have received so much help with blog. 




Four // Instagram
For a camera-holic woman like me this site is perfect. I have always loved taking pictures. When I was a kid I would go through film & disposable cameras like crazy, now it's filling up our server with digital pictures. Instagram is right in the hand. 



Five // Pinterest
Yes I am thankful for Pinterest. I know it might sound a little crazy, but meal planning is made SO easy. At the beginning, I pinned everything. Now I still pin a lot, but it's a bit more reasonable. I do pin clothes, but only clothing I think I would actually ever wear. But the meals, that is where it's at. If you struggle with dinners, I encourage you to take the pinterest plunge. 

What I do: Find recipes, write them on the day, write down ingredients. Voila. Easy peasy. 


The internet doesn't have to be something that steals too much time, it can be helpful & uplifting. In the internet world, what are you thankful for?

Influence Link Up

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

The Influential Women Link Up

Today is the Influential Women Blog Link up. If you are a part of the Influence Network -- get on it!!! Honestly at first I didn't think I would link up, me, influential?! I don't think so. But I am. God uses me daily and will continue to use me.  - - - - - - - - -  Three Things About Myself: 1. I love Taco Night. If you already know me personally you would know this about me. But seriously I love it! And let me tell you I can put some tacos back. Our best friends and us have actually started Taco Tuesday so on Tuesdays we make tacos. Now we're just at a point of trying to make it a healthier Taco Tuesday. 2. I love music so much. I love to dance. I love to sing. I love to be surrounded by music. If you stop by my house there's a 95% chance you will hear music being played. I love Pandora because I can just put on whatever station for the mood I'm in.  Current favorite Pandora stations: Kari Jobe (I don't think that'll ever change), Jerem
